Will this scan legal size document? Also can you scan document to PDF

Yes, it will scan legal documents. Yes you can scan documents and save as PDF files. This depends on your operating system. I use MAC OSX and Win7pro. Both work great using the HP software.. You will like the double sided scanning function. Saves on time and improves overall look and feel of end item - document. Enjoy and good scanning.

You can do only A4 size paper. It doesn't allow bigger size paper. Also if I try to do small pictures it doesn't recognize them. I have to place them on a blank A4 and then scan them.

It should work ok unless it's bigger than legal sized paper. However, you have to hold the scanner and move it over what you want to scan which is what I don't like.

The specs for the scanner state that it will scan legal size. I have found that the scan needs to be smooth without interruptions such as those that could be encountered with folds. Continue to love this little scanner.

Short answer is yes. Gray Macy had the long answer. While the glass is only large enough for 8.5x11, if you use the document feeder on top it will scan and copy legal size documents.

You can set the printer to print by PDF form- if the doc is ltr or legal, the printer will automatically select the correct size. Works great

I have never used it for documents, but because it is stored on a usb flash drive I would have to say yes as to anything you would like to scan through, it also saves to your hard drive.

Very, very well. The largest document I have scanned is approximately 20 pages. The scanner scans doublesided through the ADF which is a huge win for me as most of my work is double sided. This scanner is a workhorse and I am very pleased with it for the price.

Yes, it will scan in color. It will save in either jpeg or pdf format. Don't know what you want to do with it in OCR.

No, the width of the scanner is only 8.5" so it is best for scanning standard-sized pages.

I would have to say No to that one. The one I have - The scanning surface is 8.75" by 12" and as I recall the legal size is 8.5" by 14" so it will NOT take that the additional 2". Other than that it has been very good for most of my needs. Hope this is of help to you.

The question confuses 2 different paper sizes. "Legal Size" is the name given to 8.5" x 14" paper, which has the same width as standard "letter size," but is 3 inches longer. Most sheet-fed scanners that scan ordinary "letter size" will be able to scan "legal size." Thus my ScanSnap S1500 (as well as the above-mentioned S1300i) easily scans legal-size paper. Another paper size, 11" x 14," which is both wider and longer than letter size, is sometimes used to make large photographic prints or small posters; as far as I know, it has no common name. Most consumer scanners (both sheet-fed and flat-bed) are NOT wide enough to scan this paper. Scanners that handle this size are much more expensive; commercial photocopy centers (and my local library) have these scanners.

I have never actually scanned anything exactly this size, but the screen opening measures just under 12" x 17" so it should scan any image close to that width or length. Good luck!

I have a related question. My primary use for it would be to read technical PDF files (with equations and color figures). The screen size at 10.1 " and 1000x600 resolution seems quite good, but I would like to know if anyone has compared it to the HP Mini-Note which has a 1280x768 resolution, but at a 8.9" screen size.

It will handle 8.5x11 documents ok. I was very irritated to learn that the ADF double-sided scan is NOT supported for legal size paper. I bought this almost entirely for the purpose of speeding up the scanning of double sided legal documents (which seem always to be in abundance). The rest of the printer/scanner seems to work fine, but beware if you're buying this to try and speed up the automatic scanning of legal sized documents. It won't do it.

this scanner can scan pages up to size 11 x 17 inches; so yes, letter size (8.5 x 11 inch) paper will fit.

I have never tried legal size, but the manual says it will. The 7640 is a good printer and fax and scanner. We love ours. If it were only wireless it would be perfect.
